    Hi,

    I was on BTEA for the past 3 years and getting Student Grant for the school. Over the 3rd year (workplace) i found paid job. I would like to continue to the 4th year.
    Now I want to switch school to part time and work full time.

    How it is now with the grant? Do I have to pay the full amount for the school?

    Thank you

    Mike

    You can't get BTEA or a grant for a part time course. You will probably have to pay full fees for the course if it is a part time course. You could claim tax relief on the fees that you pay.

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    For a part time course 20% of any fees paid above 1125
